Feb 22 – Homily – Fr Elias: Lent, Season of Spiritual Joy

Homily #150222b ( 16min) Play - Based on today's Gospel of the Lord's temptation in the desert, Fr. Elias reflects on how Lent should be a season of joy even if it involves penance. This gives us great freedom because we can act in a way that is contrary to our fallen human nature and look ahead to the joy of Easter in a few weeks and to life everlasting at the end of our earthly pilgrimage.
